mortality levels. The procedures used to assess the orphanhood data are described in detail in the UnitedNations Methods for Estimating Adult <strong>Mortality</strong> (UN, 2002) and the Manual X Indirect Techniques forDemographic Estimation (UN, 1983).The basic data and the results of the indirect estimates using the orphanhood (parental survival)method are given in Table 6.5. The dates of the estimates range from 1992 to 2005 for women and 1996and 2005 for men. Because men have older ages at birth than do women, estimates cannot be reliablycalculated based on the survival of fathers of persons age 40 and over.Table 6.5 Indirect estimation of adult mortalityBasic data and estimates of adult female and adult male mortality rates and life expectancy at age 5 years using theindirect orphanhood method, <strong>Afghanistan</strong> <strong>2010</strong>Survival and mortality estimatesParentAge group Alive DeadProportionaliveDate ofestimate30 - 59( 35 q 30 )Probability of dying15 - 59( 45 q 15 )15 - 49( 35 q 15 )Lifeexpectancyat age 5 years(e 5 )FEMALE5-9 28,961 388 0.9868 2005.7 0.143 0.112 0.061 69.910-14 25,494 754 0.9713 2003.5 0.168 0.133 0.073 68.515-19 21,182 1,136 0.9491 2001.7 0.186 0.148 0.082 67.520-24 14,584 1,239 0.9217 2000.1 0.191 0.152 0.085 67.225-29 10,215 1,609 0.8639 1998.9 0.228 0.184 0.104 65.230-34 6,732 1,790 0.7900 1997.8 0.247 0.201 0.115 64.335-39 5,456 2,516 0.6844 1996.9 0.266 0.219 0.126 63.340-44 3,611 3,021 0.5445 1996.2 0.287 0.238 0.139 62.345-49 2,177 3,235 0.4023 1992.5 0.287 0.238 0.139 62.3MALE5-9 30,008 394 0.9870 2005.4 0.150 0.118 0.064 69.510-14 26,167 818 0.9697 2003.4 0.210 0.168 0.094 66.215-19 24,619 1,712 0.9350 2001.7 0.274 0.226 0.131 62.920-24 18,038 2,424 0.8815 2000.1 0.346 0.294 0.177 59.425-29 11,361 2,839 0.8001 1998.7 0.374 0.322 0.197 58.030-34 7,089 3,410 0.6752 1997.3 0.394 0.342 0.211 57.035-39 4,383 3,540 0.5532 1996.3 0.399 0.346 0.215 56.840-44 3,252 4,616 0.4133 na na na na na45-49 1,598 3,815 0.2953 na na na na nana = Not applicableNote: The mean age at birth used in the mortality estimates is 28.1 calculated from Table 3.1. Levels of estimates arebased on coefficients in Timaeus, 1992: pages 47-63, Table 2. Dating of estimates are based on Inited Nations,1983: page 104, Table 88.Figure 6.3 presents results of the indirect assessment of the parental survival data based onsurvival between age 15 and age 59 for both men and women. Though dates are imprecise with theorphanhood estimates, the figure shows rapidly declining mortality for both sexes since about the year1998 (circa 1377). The rapidity of the decline was greater between 1996 and 2000 (1375 and 1379 in theAfghan calendar) for women and between 2000 and 2006 (1379 and 1385 in the Afghan calendar) formen. Due to the nature of the method no estimates of mortality level are available beyond 2006 (1385 inthe Afghan calendar).112 | Adult <strong>Mortality</strong>
